Freak Out!

Probably the brake....

You are most likely inadvertently touching or slightly pressing the brake pedal and causing the Nanny to think you're braking and can't make up your mind. It then thinks something is wrong and goes into limp mode. Took me a while to retrain my old dog attitude. No problems now....:bowdown: smoky

There should be a large sticker on each windshield that says that touching the brake while riding will cause errors, result in calls to the dealership, and kill your first few days with your Spyder until you learn to ride with your foot not touching the brake at all.

Without making a large point of this on purchase, chances are very good that a new rider, like me, will find themselves with flashing light and the exciting experience of limp mode.

While you're at it, read this post:

You can start with good habits all around, and learn now what I didn't learn up front.

Actually I was lucky as my dealer told me to keep my foot away from the brake peddle or it would cause the nanny to yell at me. lol
So far good dealer.

Thanks for the advice! I was aware from reading this forum that riding the brake could cause this problem and was careful to make sure I was not doing that. This was a flaw in the bike from the day I got it. It is still in the shop having the brake switch and sensor replaced. I hope I have it back by the weekend. I am past ready to ride.

I use my cruise control all the time so I never have ridden the brake or it would disengage the cruise as well. Far too many issues with this rig is all I can say. Love the bike, hate the technology.
